This is the good one.) Email me if you like me to send you the js rewrite of your parse_name function. (Oops, bad email on last post. This is the good one.)

Your logic and methodology seemed to make a complex problem simple. For my purposes I had to convert the code into javascript, which took a couple hours but worth it. My SQL 'contacts' table has the following fields: full_name (name as entered by user) sort_name (last, title first middle, suffix) nick_name (usually just the first name). If sort_name or nick_name are null, I populate the ui with values from the parse_name object (while reducing opacity). If the user changes one of the values, the new value is saved to the table and the ui displays the field like normal. I'm considering making a jQuery plug-in for this. It's been that useful. Thanks again, Jim H. Must Excellent. Your logic and methodology seemed to make a complex problem simple.

Busy testing how to interact with the rest of my code but it should be quite simple. Best regards Hi Jonathon,

Very nice script! i was starting to write something amongst these lines, when i found your code, and this is just to say excellent job! Busy testing how to interact with the rest of my code but it should be quite simple.

Best regards
